RED CROSS—FIRST AID With the Red Cross drive well to remember that one of the Red Cross’ many contributions to us is instruction in first aid. The Red Cross, through many years of experience in disaster has learned that first aid on the scene many times is more important than rushing the victim of an accident to a hospital. This is an important fact to remember. Many of us have had the training to qualify us to perform first aid. If we are not so trained, we can still follow the direction of some one who is. Or we can get the training now. At the scene of an accident a person who aids is vastly more valuable to humanity than a spectator who stands and gapes. Sunday afternoon a Juneau waitress was pulled from the waters of Gastineau Channel and taken to | Jorgenson Motors’ shop. Soon the shop was crowded with spectators, many of whom had probably been trained, at least slightly, in first aid. They stood and watched, draining the air of oxygen which was badly needed by the near-dead woman, while two men gave the woman artificial respiration. A few of the spec- { tators could have shown their rc~pcct and conhcern still in progress, it is The Washmglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) |the Byrd forces ber. of Nebraska, the now under the (llctalnr.\mp of a Russian general and this will prob- ably follow in other satellite coun- tries as a crackdown on growing UNTOS!, p e e o phrey stranded. us a rough time, ed. “Now time."” Taxation Humor him to talk to a near-empty cham- Bouncing Senator epublican leader, | much was discovered, actually hustled armong the Repub- |licans, urging them to leave Hum- let's give | for a human life, but all stood and looked and whisp- ered. Why didi’t some of those bystanders take off their coats and use them to rub life back into the woman’s numb limbs? Perhaps it was thoughtlessness, or shyness, on the part of the spectators which made them limit their activity to looking. Perhaps they thought the men trying so desperately to save life knew what to do, while they, the spectators did not. If that was the case then let the spectators learn from their experience. Four men nubbing those numb limbs might have saved that life. Help with artificial respiration might have accomplished the same end. No one can know. But applied knowledge, or at least helpfulness, might have prevented a death. The Red Cross provides instruction in first aid— free. Such training can make a helpless but willing spectator unto a useful lifesaver. But, if the helpless spectator chooses through squeamishness to remain on the sidelines, then he should show his willingness to aid others in saving lives by at least fending his coat to prevent shock. And to aid in future emergencies he should give his useful representative — his money to help the Refl Cross train others to save lives. ANOTHER RACKET A special Assistant Postmaster General has re- signed — more accurately, fired by Postmaster Gen- eral Jesse M. Donaldson — after disclosure that he worked a smart scheme for buying and reselling books of special commemoration stamps issued by the Post Office Department. A Washington newspaper says Harold F. Ambrose confessed that he had received a total of $392,000 from stamp speculatorsa nd had paid out $177,000 in “profits” to- his accomplices in the shenanigans. Ambrose is a nephew by marriage of Sen. Joseph O’'Mahoney, Wyoming Democrat, who, pre- sumably, got him his job as an official in the Post Office Department. Senator O'Mahoney, upon learn- ing of the operation, insisted that Ambrose go to his superior and “make a clean breast of it.” At this writing, no specific violation of law has been revealed. It is just another instance of a dis- gusting breach of trust and use of high official posi- tion for what the individual could make of it. Ambrose steps to one side to join the happy and undisturbed throng of others who have “made a good thing” of government connection or influence, by means of 5 per cent commissions on deals, outright sale of influ- ence, special fees as lobbyists and a host of other smart little schemes.® The postage stamp deal merely is the latest such racket. , Another trouble with the world is that all the people in it have inherited a lot of human nature. left | ment by known Communists, whose | party membership could not be | proved without their consent, con- Ken Wherry |tinued to dig into the record. ‘While little could | be established, for what these men were engaged in was a conspiracy, internationally directed.

Then another tax on the wedding ring. And suppose in due time they acquire on off- spring. “Then the taxes really start—20 percent on baby oil, baby powder, baby lotion and baby creams.” Mom and Sis also had a defender in Representative Les Arends of Illinois. “And when the tax gougers made up their ‘sucker’ list,” Arends said, “you ladies were placed at the top and you have been there ever since. “These are not ‘luxuries’” con- tinued Arends, referring to toilet articles and cosmetics. erican way®of life has made these articles as essential to you women as shaving to menfolks. The truth is that the Washington tax-masters rcgard you womgn as a ‘soft touch'.” Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers of Mas~ sachusetts, not to be outdone, got in a plug for the menfolks. “From the time they get up in the morn- ing men pay a tax on everything,” she said, “their pajamas. . .Their bath soap and shaving lotion. Their razor and hair tonic. . erything they eat for breatfast. . . And that all-important smoke.” Democrats seemed to enjoy the show as much as Republicans until GOP Rep. Hugh Scott of Pennsyl- vania tearfully recited: “No baby oil for you, young man, Bareback babe, with cheeks of tan. By the rule of Uncle Sam You're a luxury, little lamb. The skin we loved to touch with powder We sadly pat while you yell louder; So now you know, my little man, Why mamma votes Republican.” Byrd Battle The Senate hasn’t seen the end of the feud between Minnesota’s bree- zy, young Senator Hubert Humph- rey and Virginia's Senator Harry Byrd. Humphrey is still trying to sprinkle salt on Byrd's | tail. The brash Minnesotan raided Byrd's favorite nest, the Senate Economy Committee, with a charge that instead of saving money it was wasting money. He pomtud out that the committee hadn’t even met for two years. This brought the Byrd forces to the Senate floor in full array. More Republicans and Dixiecrats turned out to defend Byrd than listened to the debate on the Marshall Plan and Atlantic Pact. One by one | they lambasted Humphrey, who couldn't get a word in edgeéwise. ‘When he finally gained the floor, “The Am-!} Stung by this insult, Humphrey lashed back at Byrd with facts instead of oratory. He also offered to meet Byrd any ‘time in open de: bate, even, sent several radio inter: viewers to try to arrange it. So far, Byrd has not accepted the chal- lenge. Note—What also burned up Hum- ‘phrey was the way Administration Democrats left him to battle Byrd's friends singlehanded. Afterward, Humphrey called the White House and complained bitterly: “Every time I have been to the White House, President Truman has spent part of the time telling me what a menace Byrd is to liberal gov- ernment. But where were my Dem- ocratic friends when I took on Byrd?” Power Lobby Picks The potent oil lobby and the el- ectric power iterests are now plan- Ining their politics several year: ahead. When a Senator opposes them, they begin grooming oppo- sition for” him, and in one case— North Dakota—have already picked a candidate. He is North Dakota’s Gov. Fred Aandahl, who will run against Sen. Bill Langer in 1952. The oil crowd is sore at Langer | because of his outspoken opposition to state ownership of Tidelands Oil. Langer even hired a lawyer to fight the oil companies, sent a letter to President Truman prais- ing him for vetoing the Tidelands { Oil bill, Governor Aandahl, on the other hand, came out in favor of giving Tidelands Oil to the states which in the past have leased it chiefly to the big oil companies, Langer and Aandahl are also on { opposite sides of the fence on the power issue, Aadahl going along with the power companies against | against public power and the Mis* souri \'uucy Authority. THESE DAYS { --BY | GEORGE E. SOKOLS PEU! lll[‘()Y NAll) T Never before has the State De- | partment been attacked as violently as during the past ten years. The attacks did not begin with Sen- ator McCarthy of Wisconsin, nor will they end with his current re- ports. The attacks began really m 1933 when we recognized Soviet | Russia. They were intensified with the startling “Amerasia” case, in SKY apple-cheeked | which 100 files from the State and | other departments were found in| the offices of this left-wing maga- | zine in which was also situated photographing equipment. That case was hushed up. Those interestcd in the infiltra- | tion of the highest level of govern. i facts under oath, was it possible to publish the already known The inci in this business, ers, Gerhart Eisler and others whom even now I cannot name with provable evidence, were. clever, trained men. The most damaging contribution to the subject has thus far been made by John Peurifoy, Deputy Under-Secretary of State in charge of Administration. His statement should have shocked this nation. ‘When Maximilian Harden, the Ger- I man journalist, called attention to | a similar camarilla in the Kaiser's Court, involving Prince Eulenburg, it shocked and astonished the world. Yet, in this generation, in the Un- ited States, a charge that 91 em- ployees of the State Department were dismissed for being homo- sexuals passes with little excitement. Perhaps the reason is that the word, homosexual, is considered bad. It is not the word that is bad; it is the consequences of the deed that lay the individual open to blackmail. He is ashamed; he is frightened; he ‘has become accus- tomed to secrecy, conspiracy, lying. He is always subject tb backmail.

Stocker Maynard Stimpson Grace Knight Mrs. Warren J. Taglor Helen Perkins Joe Callahan Emmett T. Warner e« e o 0o c 0o 0 “Most of them were homosexuals. In fact, I would say all of them were.” Of course, Mr. Peurifoy withheld the names of these persons and therefore it is not known what po- sitions they held. For instance, if a homosexual held such a position as Under-Secretary of State, or Assistant Secretary or as sensitive bureau chief, the menace to the United States would be that if the espionage services of a foreign pow- er or of a world-wide conspiracy got at him, he would have three alternatives: 1. To resign yet to risk exposure; 2. To submit to blackmail and become a spy for a foreign power; or 3. To commit suicide. i I am dealing with this problem | not from a moral but from a prac- tical standpoint. There are some persons who excuse the homosexual that way. Others become involved in Freudian jargon and explain this pheriomenon as due to a variety ot causes, From our standpoint, it is merely a question as to whether a person whose conduct lays him | open to blackmail is a good security ; risk. | Now, in all the arguments on the subject, those who defend the State Department and attack Senator McCarthy miss two points: 1. Our foreign policy has been wrong since 1943 (Teheran) because it was controlled by a foreign pow- er, Soviet Russia. Dean Acheson’s speeches in San Francisco must be read as a condemnation of these policies; otherwise they have no meaning. What part did these homosexuals subject to blackmail, play in the formulate and conduct of those erroneous policies? 2. Whereas some of the rest of Capone, those in the State De- partment must be as pure in mind and purpose as driven snow. For that department gathers the data, formulates the policies, lays down the techniques, short of war, for the defense of our country in times of peace and war. A liar, advantageously stationed; a blackmailed creature in a sensi- | tive spot; a frightened soul, caught | in the web of conspiracy, can pro-| duce such a result as the conquest| of China by Soviet Russia by con- sent. There is the menace. | JOINT MEETING TONIGHT OF 2 FISHERMEN UNIONS | | | Important matters about the‘ | coming fishing season will be taken up at the joint meeting tonight of | | the Deep Sea Fishermen’s Union | |and the Juneau Yessel Owners’ | Association.
